could be to do with the shocks? fitted new front shock inserts in my brumby yesterday and the height at the front is noticeably higher. should actually be about 8-10mm lower as I turned down the bottoms of the nuts which adjust height.

maybe / feel like i'm coming down with my girlfriend's flu so maybe not

got hold of one. thanks guys

any chance i could borrow it?

Mike at SAS in the hutt used to rally an RX so he might be able to help you out.

First off, check the points, condenser and timing if you haven't already. Also, distributor cap and rotor. Leads and plugs too but I guess you've done that. These are the most common causes of your type of problem. If that and what they ^ said doesn't fix it, look at fuel issues (blocked filter, carb jets, pump) A haynes manual would be handy if you don't have one already. Not quite sure what you mean about the leak in the spark plug well, maybe worn valve guides/seals?

blocked main jet?

like little fonzies

I think compression ratio depends on the engine design. If you can raise CR and not have problems with pinking, you should get better power and economy. If you have to retard the timing heaps, I think the benefits can be cancelled or reversed.

yeah my shed's in newtown i live in mt cook my wof goes until 27th so good to cruise.

Planning to have my car off the road for 3 months from around then when my wof runs out, so I can put in new engine/gearbox/brakes/try to make the front camber negative. may have to sit in baqck of someone's car and hallucinate.

Looking pretty sweet. Wish I had a garage / didn't have so many coffee machines and roasters in the shed to work on and I could make better progress on my brumby. Putting ea82 flywheel and the turbo 220mm disc in mine. Same as the clutch nissan used for half their line at the time skyrine / sirubia etc so should hold together for my build.

most old soobs including the leones have the r160, but I think some of the more powerful ones use the r180, so there should be a few about.

i'm in fore more pizza goodness

Has it been that long since an update? Did plenty of welding on the new one, and now it's my daily. Drove it to Auckland last weekend. It didn't miss a beat and came back with a door stencil. It's got a roll bar now too, and impreza seats mounted on the original rails. Today I got new front strut inserts for $30+ each! While I was in the hutt I thought I'd pick up these too: EA5speed front case, EJ FWD (lower) gears and AWD transfer case. and matching viscous rear Should keep me busy for a bit. 5 gears will definitely help too.

good to meet you guys, look forward to kaitaia (ipod) shuffles next time

i'll come along. why don't we drive somewhere and set off some fireworks after?

yeah engine starts def worth a try

bought 1kg at pak n save last week for $8

washing soda.

Sweet... My first bike was one of these styles Also my first engine rebuild and broke my first ankle falling off it. was pretty sweet, but 2 gears - one too high and one too low. brakes were fred flintstone style as shoes were worn out. still in my old man's shed somewhere...

Where the metal overlaps across the tray near the back, a little bit of that strip near the front of the tray and down the back and bottom of the front wheel arches. Mostly surface rust apart from that. I just sprayed the underside with chain bar oil and have urethane to do the tray. Scored a rollbar for it too.

You got any subies on the road at the moment? My brumby is so nearly back on the road. All rust is out, ready for paint but it's pretty much raining every day in Wgtn and I don't have a garage. Got a road trip planned first week august to see pixies concert in chcch and also pick up a rollbar i bought on tardme so it's gotta be going by then. You don't need any 1400 headgaskets do you? pm me if you do.
